The police have decided to reopen the case of an attack on Jyothi Uday, a Corporation Bank staffer, inside an ATM kiosk in 2013.
"The police submitted an 'undetected' report to the court a few months ago. The police have not given up the case. We would reopen the case based on any information in future," K SRCharan Reddy, Additional Commissioner of Police (West), told DH.
"Many cases were reopened in the past based on fresh information and such cases were taken to their logical end. The same will happen in Jyothi's case as well," he said.
Another senior officer said, "The probe is still on. We have done our best to arrest the suspect. However, the case has consumed much time."
The police blame the media for helping the suspect remain at large. "The media widely publicised the attack and the measures by the police in tracing the suspect. This helped the suspect remain at large," the officer said.
Three police commissioners, Raghavendra Auradkar, MNReddi and NSMegharikh, three additional commissioners of police Hemanth Nimbalkar, MChandrashekhar and Charan Reddy, and two DCPs BRRavikanthegowda and Sandeep Patil and a host of ACPs investigated the case.
The officers believe that the suspect may no longer be alive. "He either died of natural causes or committed suicide. The Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu police invested the best of their energies.The efforts should have generated some information about the attacker. The lack of information may be attributed to his death," said the officer.
The police checked the background of every prisoner, checked the information on all prisoners in every prison across South India. They used the anti-Naxal network to trace the suspect in forests. They circulated 40,000 posters containing the suspects' details in Kannada, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Even a bounty of Rs 5 lakh for information leading to his arrest was put up. However, the efforts were in vain.
Jyothi Uday, then section manager in charge of cheque truncation system at Corporation Bank, Service Branch, Mission Road, suffered severe head injuries in the attack. She had entered the ATM kiosk at NR Square near the BBMP headquarters around 7.10 am on November 19, 2013, to withdraw cash when a machete-wielding man entered, pulled a gun out of his bag and threatened her. When she resisted, he attacked her with a sickle and she passed out. He then snatched her cellphone and fled.
She underwent a neurosurgical operation to get the bone fragment in the brain removed. Her brain coverings were repaired, while the fractured skull bones were reset. She also underwent plastic surgeries for the reconstruction of her nose and facial injuries. She could not resume duty for about three months.
Jyothi and her husband CUday Kumar said they have stopped pursuing the case. They also said they were not informed about the submission of "undetected" report to the court.
